As an alternative to sugar packed crust, sweet and tender pears encase a fruit and nut filling that's similar to cheesecake.

Time savers:
Up to 3 days before, prepare cheesecake mixture, but don't add the almonds.
Day before, poach pears and make sauce. Refrigerate overnight. Stuff pears and keep in the fridge for up to 6 hours. Bring pears and sauce to room temp before serving.

These are very fancy, and replace your usual Thanksgiving pie quite nicely.

Unlike many of the French Onion Soup recipes on SparkRecipes. com, the nutrition values listed for this one include the bread and cheese toppings. Lower in fat and sodium than any pre-packaged version of this all-time favorite, this French Onion Soup wll rival any you get in a restaurant when it comes to taste. The key to a successful soup is to cook the onons slowly, consistenly reducing the cooking temperature.

These aren't your traditional lentils. The wine and chicken base give this lentil soup a richer flavor while the herbs give it a nice, savory punch.
